Preface. 



THE Order of the Founders and Patriots of America having 
greatly increased in numbers, the necessity of knowing 
who were their fellow-members was pressed upon the 
Associates of the Order, and at the annual meeting of the 
General Court, May 13, 1901, the subject of gratifying the desire 
for such information was considered, and a committee was 
appointed to take up the matter, with directions to report to 
the Council General. At the autumn meeting of the Council 
General in 1901 that committee made a report, and the Council 
General directed the committee to proceed and prepare the ma- 
terial for the Register — then, however, planned to be a modest 
pamphlet, with provision for binding copies for such Associates 
as would bear such expense each for himself. 

The data and information in possession of the Registrar 
General was most necessary to the work of the committee, and 
to him the committee resorted for his aid and assistance, which 
was most cheerfully given and was most satisfactory; and it 
was due to the cheerfully-given co-operation of Associate Teunis 
Dimon Huntting, the then Registrar General of the Order, and 
to his persistent, industrious, painstaking and cheerfully-per- 
formed work, in gathering, from the " application papers " and 
the records in his possession, the data and information which then 
enabled the committee to perform the work of completing and 
publishing the Register of 1902. 

That Register became a book of reference to very many, and 
a means of obtaining family history, and of gathering up and 
preserving a record of the personal public services of the Asso- 
ciates of the Order. 

Within the fifty years now past, and during the lifetime of 
most of the Associates, our country has passed through two wars

in which many have served. The committee sought all possible 
information of their participation in those struggles. Many were 
very modest concerning their personal history. Some incidents 
of most honorable service, stated as to many Associates, were 
not communicated at all by them, and facts not stated by them 
have been gleaned from other sources. Wherever information 
given as to one is not given as to another, it does not follow that 
nothing of like interest remained to be communicated as to those 
of whom like things are not said, but such things were not stated 
in the information returned. 

At the annual meeting of the General Court on May 13, 1902, 
the committee reported to the General Court a mass of manu- 
script, and it was then instructed to go forward with the work, 
and by vote of the General Court was ordered to print the book 
for distribution, and an appropriation was made for the pur- 
pose liberal enough to satisfy every demand, and it was put 
forth to the Order and to the public. 

The book of that committee laid before the General Court 
and the Associates of the Order was bound in the first instance 
to contain mistakes, but only those persons who have had a 
hand in such work can appreciate the amount of labor bestowed 
upon it, or the inevitable liability to error. 

In the year 1909 at the Hartford meeting of the General Court 
of the Order, a new Register was ordered. A report was made 
at the May meeting in New York in 1910. At the Philadel- 
phia meeting in 191 1 the work was reported and its publication 
was ordered and a publication committee was appointed and this 
work, the "Register 191 1," is now presented to the Associates 
and to the public. For sake of the future we ask that every 
Associate who, in reading this book, shall discover that the 
public services, civil or military, of any other Associate are not 
here recorded, will prepare a statement of such services and 
forward it to the Registrar General, for use in the preparation 
of any future Register.

As the pages of the book shall be consulted, or read, a fact that 
cannot escape attention is the prevalence in the genealogical 
lines of the Associates of Bible names, and of those easily recog- 
nized as peculiarly Puritan names, among the men, as Barnabas, 
Bartholomew, Job, Daniel, Elijah, Hezekiah, Ebenezer, Joshua, 
Japheth, Abijah, Elihu, Hopestill, Preserved, Jedediah, Israel, 
Bezaleel ; also among the women as Magdalen, Tryphena, Tamar, 
Hannah, Tabitha, Hepsibah, Deborah. Mehitable, Eunice, Lois, 
Priscilla, Ruth, Prudence, Mercy, Wait, Submit, Grace, Silence, 
Plain, Hopestill, Thankful, Experience, Deliverance, Sophronia, 
Rhoda, Dorcas, Keziah, Penelope, Hepsibeth, Hilpah, and many 
others of the like, all of which cannot now be mentioned. 

Such facts cannot fail to tell the story of the kind of blood 
which flows in the veins of the Associates, and to assure that they 
came of a race of God-fearing, Bible-loving, religion-respecting, 
and virtue-valuing ancestors ; such as we shall, not only as of 



preface. 

those days, but in all days, be glad we came from, the men and 
women who made sturdy characters and good habits, an ancestry 
of the kind to whom this great nation of ours owes more for its 
solid, law-abiding and law-honoring, good citizenship, than to 
any other of the emigrant peoples who followed to find homes 
in the good land our ancestors had subdued for them.

History of the Order of the 
Founders and Patriots 
of America. 



THE motive leading to the formation of The Order of the 
Founders and Patriots of America, at a time when so 
many hereditary societies, born of the Centennial Era 
beginning in 1876, were already in existence, was the desire to 
meet certain most desirable requirements which none of the 
existing organizations seemed to meet. There were societies of 
lineal descendants of patriots of the American Revolution and 
of other subsequent wars, membership in which indicated no 
antecedent American lineage. On the other hand, there were 
societies of descendants of ante-revolutionary progenitors, mem- 
bership in which did not indicate that the intermediate ancestors 
during the War for Independence were loyal to the American 
cause. There was nothing in the eligibility requirements of the 
latter societies to exclude from membership persons whose an- 
cestors in the same line were allied with the enemies of the 
Colonies during the great sacrificial crisis in which our republic 
was brought into being as an independent nation. In fact, en- 
trance into such latter societies was open to, and into them 
actually entered, those whose ancestors in the Revolutionary 
period actually fought against the Colonies, and against the 
patriots whose memory we delight to honor and who offered their 
lives and their all to found the nation and the liberties we enjoy 
and have inherited from them. 

It justly was resented by patriotic Americans, that some of 
such societies passed into control of those who outwardly 
vaunted their tory ancestors and who were so proud of it as 
to herald the fact that their ancestors had never intermarried 
with any patriot blood, as though such was an honor and a 
ground of pride, and not a misfortune to be sincerely mourned 
and to be passed rather in silence than to be trumpeted.

tK^Jje 0ttin of tfje Jfounbers! anti patriots; of America 

We may not conceal that it was hostility to such tory senti- 
ment which suggested the formation of The Order of the 
Founders and Patriots of America. 

It was therefore believed, and the belief has been justified by 
events, that there was not only room but a call for an hereditary 
Order whose insignia should be a badge of double honor — honor 
of descent from those brave and hardy pioneers who subdued 
the primeval wilderness and first planted within the limits of 
the original colonies the civilization which now leads the world, 
and honor of descent from those who, in patriotism and devotion 
and love of liberty, founded the first republic in the western 
hemisphere and the greatest republic among the nations of the 
earth. 

Moved by these feelings an informal conference of a few of 
the descendants of those founders and patriots was called and 
held at the Astor House in New York City on the 24th day 
of February, 1896, at which it was determined to form this 
Order. 

The terms of eligibility, as afterward framed and inserted in 
the Constitution, were agreed upon, in short that every member 
must be descended in the male line of father or mother, from 
an ancestor who settled in one of the thirteen original colonies 
within fifty years (half a century) from the settlement of James- 
town, Va., May 13, 1607, and through the same line only, through 
patriots in the Revolutionary period but not of necessity through 
those who rendered military service. A second conference for 
the purpose agreed upon was held at the Hotel Endicott, in 
New York City, March 9, 1896, at which time the name of 
the Order was agreed upon and steps taken toward its organi- 
zation and the work of preparing the necessary papers for 
incorporation was assigned. 

A third conference was held in the Tribune Building, Printing 
House Square, in New York City, on the i6th day of March, 
1896, at which there were present Messrs. William Winton 
Goodrich, Edward Nelson Granville Greene, Henry Lincoln 
Morris, Ralph Earl Prime, Howard Sumner Robbins, Charles 
Waterman Bentley Wilkinson, and three others. " It was

then formally agreed by the nine gentlemen present to take 
measures to form a new Colonial and Patriotic society, and to 
that end to incorporate according to the laws of the State of 
New York, and that the name of the new society shall be ' The 
Order of the Founders and Patriots of America,' and that the 
New York Society of the Order shall be incorporated." There- 
upon and at that time the certificate of incorporation was signed 
and executed in duplicate by the nine gentlemen present, who 
thus became the Founders of the Order. Directions were given 
for obtaining the approval of the certificate by a Justice of the 
Supreme Court of the State of New York and the filing thereof 
in the proper public offices. The gentlemen then present agreed 
to meet again March 23, 1896, at the Hotel Endicott in New 
York City. 

The Certificate of Incorporation was, on the 17th day of 
March, 1896, duly approved by Hon. Jackson O. Dykman, a Jus- 
tice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and on 
the i8th day of March one of the duplicate certificates was duly 
filed in the office of the Secretary of State in Albany, N. Y., and 
the other duplicate certificate was, the same i8th day of March, 
1896, duly filed in the office of the Clerk of the County of New 
York in New York City and the New York Society thus became 
incorporated. 

Pursuant to appointment, five of the nine Founders met 
again in the evening of March 2T,, 1896, at the Hotel Endicott. 
For the completion of the organization, the work was divided 
and assigned to different persons. The formation of the society 
having been made public, many applications for admission had 
been received by the different Founders, all of which were re- 
ferred to a membershp committee, for investigation, as were 
also the lines of descent of the Founders of the Order. 

Again, on the 6th day of April, 1896, a meeting of the Found- 
ers was held at the Hotel Endicott. At this time there were 
also present some of those who had applied for membership 
and whose eligibility had been approved by the membership 
committee. A form of constitution and by-laws was reported 
and was discussed and after adding a provision for the eligi- 
bility of the sons of original members, the work was approved

and it was determined to accord to all whose applications for 
membership had been approved, the privilege of participating 
in the adoption of the constitution and by-laws and such were 
then denominated Charter Members. 

On the evening of the 24th day of April, 1896, at the Hotel 
Normandie, in the City of New York, a meeting of the Charter 
Members was held. At that time they were seventy-eight in 
number. At that meeting the constitution and by-laws of the 
Order, which had already been approved by the Founders, was 
presented and read in full, and with an amendment providing 
for dual membership was adopted, and the organization com- 
pleted by the election of the officers and councillors of the 
New York Society of The Order of the Founders and Patriots of 
America. 

The terms of the constitution provided for a Society of the 
Order in each State and for a General Court of the Order to be 
composed of The Founders of the Order, the Oificers of the 
General Court, with representatives of each of the State Socie- 
ties, consisting of the first eight (since nine) of its officers, and 
it authorized the New York State Society of the Order to act as 
the General Court until the General Court should be organized 
by the representatives of at least three State Societies and 
meanwhile to issue charters to such State Societies as it should 
organize. Each member was to be known as an " Associate." 

On the 24th day of April, 1896, the Council of the New York 
Society of the Order granted a charter to nine Associates to 
organize the New Jersey Society of the Order, and appointed 
its first meeting to be held at the house of Associate William 
Armstrong Halsey in Newark, N. J., on the 28th day of April, 
1896, at which time and place the New Jersey Society of the 
Order was organized. 

On the 1st day of May, 1896, the Council of the New York 
Society of the Order granted a charter to nine Associates to 
organize the Connecticut Society of the Order, and appointed its 
first meeting to be held at the house of Associate Charles Augus- 
tus Jewell, in Hartford, Conn,, on the 9th day of May, 1896, at 
which time and place the Connecticut Society of the Order was 
organized.

Three Societies of the Order having thus been organized, the 
Founders of the Order and the officers of those Societies, entitled 
to sit in the General Court of the Order, met in the historic 
Governor's Room, in the City Hall in the City of New York, on 
the 13th day of May, 1896, the 289th anniversary of the settle- 
ment of Jamestown, Va., and organized the General Court of 
the Order, and elected its General Officers and Councillors Gen- 
eral, and the General Court then became the Supreme Govern- 
ing body of the Order. 

On the 28th day of December, 1896, the Council General 
granted a charter to eleven Associates (to which number four 
others were subsequently added) to organize the Pennsylvania 
Society of the Order and appointed its first meeting to be held 
in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 14th day of January, 
1897, at which time and place the Pennsylvania Society of the 
Order was organized. 

The Order of the Founders and Patriots of America now con- 
sist of the General Court of the Order and four State Societies 
of the Order and numbers in all 450 Associates. 

Its membership consists of citizens of the United States, who 
are descended in the paternal line of either father or mother, 
from an ancestor who settled within the limits of what became 
the original thirteen colonies during the first half century, from 
the first settlement in America, at Jamestown, Va., May 13, 
1607, and whose intermediate ancestors in the same line were 
loyal to the cause of the American Colonies during the War for 
their Independence. Pursuant to an amendment, adopted May 
13, 1902, it also admits to membership the male descendants of 
Associates of the Order, thus making the members a new stock 
for the perpetuation of the Order.

Liberty in all the Western Hemisphere ; and, recognizing that the 
foundations of the nation were laid, in the perils and hardships of the 
first half centurj^ by our ancestor settlers of that period, rather than in 
the years that followed ; and, recognizing that, necessary to the end for 
which our ancestors came, was a patriot progeny, in the time of the

Sec. 9. No Society of the Order shall have the power to incur any
